new language Pocket PC - General Topics

Hi all,
I would like to translate all the Operative System (Windows Mobile 5 or 6) to another language than the one that I have. for instance from English to Swedish.
I have been reading in this site loads of comments related to this subject and I thought I was gonna be able to do it, but at the end by now I have a defeat
The idea is NOT creating a new ROM, just a cab file which would be able to change the language.
things I have tried and I think are neccesary to do:
1) Change in the registry the values related to the language, for instance
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/MUI/SysLang
2) Edit the .mui files. HERE I HAVE PROBLEMS as i am able to edit them (with Reshacker for instace), modify them, save them.
-> They are ignored by the OS
after that I thought I had to sin them so i did ot with signtool an the certificates that you have with VisualStudio...however they are ignores as well
---> ¿whish is the exact process I have to do with the mui files??
3) i think if I were able to create the proper muis, I would be able to "overwrite" the ROM with the command FORCEDELETE inside of the xml/cab
thank you very much in advance

XDA Atom changing T9 Dictionary Language

I found in this forum different languages of T9 dictionary.
Do you know how install them since i tried but dll files are copy protected?
Thank You

Please stop shouting, you're hurting my ears! :wink: What you need is this:
LOCAL WORD COMPLETION AND SPELLING CHECKER
Code:
[HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Spell Check]
"Main_Dict"="\'whatever location\mssp2_nl.lex" (dutch office 95+ lex file)
"User_Dict"="\'whatever location\user.dct" (will be done for you by OS)
Code:
[HKCU\ControlPanel\Sip] (keyb input word completion in your language ;O)
"DictFile"="\whatever location\statdict.dat" (get a hold of one in your language)
"ProbFile"="\whatever location\dictprob.dat" (get a hold of one in your language)
Taken from this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=41442&highlight=dictfile
I tried to copy mssp2_it.lex into the atom.
I had to set off readonly.
Now I have 2 mssp2 files. One "_it" one "_ en"
Then I couldn't copy statdict.dat and dictprob.dat since they are hidden and I can't change this behavior
Any help?
I can't solve that problem
Thank You.
Copy them to for instance \Windows\Italy and let the registry entries reflect that. Don't try to copy them to \Windows, that will require a bit of fancy stuff that I wouldn't get into if I was you.
Thank You.
I was able to do that only with "mssp2_it.lex" successfully copyed in Windows directory.
But with many problems.
Noy the others files will not be copyed in any place since I receive a message those are "system" files
Do you know some file manager who can manage hidden files and properties of files on PPC? Freeware would be great
total commander
Thank You
I just downloaded it and I'll try tomorro since here is night.
Hope you can help me more since I feel I'll not able to do all the right settings.
Thank You.

Hello.
I copied all the file in Memory Card
I added the string
Main_Dict = \Memory Card\mssp2_it.lex
and
User_Dict = \Memory Card\custom.dct
Thant does not exist as file this custom.dct
But nothing!
In the SIP Key the DictFile = statdic.dat even I have modified the path will return to "statdic.dat" when I rest instead of remain \Memory Card\ etc etc
Any help?
Thank You regards

How do i translate wm6 rom to other language ?

Hey guys.
I got a kitchen and dump all the files from my 80040000-OS.nb.
And now i want to translate the hole rom to sample-chinese, how can i do that?
I saw an article from here, it said i can download the emulator file from microsoft, and change all the language file name to 0409, then copy them to my dump folder.
But i didn't want to do that, i want to still keep the language file name like 0804. What will i do? Modify the default.hv and user.hv? Or some other way i can do?
I just want to translate my rom to sample-chinese use 0804 file not 0409 file, can somebody help me?
anybody can answer my question ?
Get all the mui files for your language (may be from emulator but be sure to have right build). hv files will have the language settings. Convert the hv files to rgu and search them through for language settings. You may need to search through each line in the rgu. Then convert the rgu back to hv and use them along with the mui files (can delete the ENU mui files).
This is not impossible but will need lot of patience and testing time. Good Luck
only edit .hv files and replace the mui files is ok ?
need other thins to do ?
Or somebody can give me anohter way to translate my rom ?

[UPD beta3] Microwave oven: TRANSLATE YOUR ROM - (for wizard only)

Hi ppl,
I've collected all the tools I use to translate roms from our chefs (God bless them). I don't want to steal anyone's work so the most of the credit should go to the creator of the tools I've packed, so all but Muiver, 2bytecut, Go.bat that were made by me.
It should be easy for everyone to make a translation following these steps (it's easier to do than to read ...):
1) Download and install windows PROFESSIONAL image in your language (source language) from here
2) Download your preferred foreign language (destination language) ROM (i.e. TNT or OCATIVOI or whatever ... )
3) copy the images over microwave dir, go to the command prompt and run GO "your language image file" "foreign language nbf file":
4) Let it run ... When Muiver opens up, set the right languages, pick your preferred options and hit GO.
MuiVer automatically looks for the right directories in the MS dump and copies it over the image that needs to be translated, modifying some files and making things you don't have to care about. At this stage you only have to choose, based on your (future) experience, what you want to copy and what not. The options are : Mui directories (OS), Other Mui files (OEMapplications), Other non MUI files (other language related files like staticdict); The more you copy, the most will be translated, more problem you may experience (missing texts, or applications that goes blank screen).
I suggest to always copy the MUI directories and experiment with other options.
5) You're nearly done only have to edit initflashfiles.dat according to your language. This file contains the localized name of some system directories and especially the start menu and start menu items names.
When wincmp opens up you will see two child windows: the left one is the file you have to edit, The right pane c0ntains the initflashfiles localized for your language. Edit the left one, according to what you can see in the right one and then "save source" from File menu. Take big care to the name of the "startup" dir (i.e. in italian it must be changed in "Esecuzione automatica") otherwise your rom won't start the customization (no screen alignment, no initial settings .. etc etc..). I suggest not to change the name of the links in the appbutton section however.
6) When nb2nbf opens up, set everything like always (look at the picture) and hit "translate" button
Flash your new translated rom (tools included)
It's a beta, just test .. I am quite happy with it. I'll update the script to run with other devices.
DOWNLOAD links beta3:
Rapidshare Download link
Mediafire Download link
Fixed beta3:
- Added a new tool to speed up initflashfiles.dat editing
Fixed beta2:
- Before flashing move or delete manually the file nk-old.nbf or the Updater could reflash that one in place of the translated one
it is good post, even in microwave oven cooked!
I think it doesn't work with ROMs that is >= 5.2.1620 because the shellresapps.dll.xxx.mui is incompatible with older versions?
Would someone be kind enough to translate TauRho3i to English.

If it's true, then remove the directory from dump.src dir before hitting "go" on muiver ... I'll check for it and handle the case in next version.

New tests shows that a very little number of .mui files (out of .mui dirs) are compatible with our WM6 releases ... for safe translations, do not copy them at all (MuiVer->File->options->Other Mui Files -> ignore all)
Hint: Take a look to the initFlashfiles.dat in the dump.src dir before editing the new one.

...hummmm sunday morning! (italy time)
Great job! I am so expecting tools like this, thanks.
One quick question - Does it translate all content of the ROM, incl. OS and OEM applications? Or only OS, not for other applications in the ROM? Thanks?
it doesnt work with me i have downloaded all image file's from microsoft and when i instald it i get a pocket pc dir a tools dir a Images License txt file and a Images Readme file so i placed it all including the nbf file in the microwave dir and pressed go and a msdos screen flashes for about i mili second and then it does nothing did i do somthing wrong??
or can someone please explain me better
thanx
Danny
Can you explain a little more point number 5 and 6 plz?
I'm transalating from wwe to spanish thx.
It's my first attemp to do something with kitchens, etc...
Nice release pal.
Maybe I'm doing something wrong but is not working for me... That's what i did:
Downloaded from MS my localized image and installed it (I don't have the emulator installed, just the image).
Already downloaded my english ROM (in my case, TNT 5.0)
Did the GO stuff in this way "GO <localized-Image> <TNT5-ROM>
Then flashed the resultant ROM and it is still in English...
... What I did wrong?
Could you please post a detailed explanation (if it is possible with printscreens) about this process?
Sorry but I'm a little dumb using this one...
Regards and keep on doing this great job!
@com_reg
Does it translate all content of the ROM, incl. OS and OEM applications?
Click to expand...

It basically translate the OS and some HTC applications, but due to the high number of versions around, it is safe to only transalte the OS part. I've experienced problems with some HTC applications not displaying properly after translations. So you better make some tests excluding or not some files / dir from Muiver. I'll try to release a more flexible Muiver soon
@danny de w
Open a DOS prompt and type "GO <name of the MS image>.bin nk.nbf"
@cesarr4
Did you move your old nk.nbf in a different place ? The script renames it in nk-old.nbf but this is sometimes not enough: the update utility will still pick the old one in place of the new one. The easiest solution is to move the nk-old.nbf away from the microwave dir.
@JouSePo and ALL
I am at work right now and can't take pictures, I will do a better explanation with images when I'll be at home later. By now I can try to explaint it better by words:
During the process some applications will pop-up asking you to do something:
- the first one is the MuiVer, that automatically looks for the right directories in the MS dump and copies it over the image that needs to be translated, modifying some files and making thinghs you don't have to care about. At this stage you only have to choose, based on your (future) experience, what you want to copy and what not. The more you copy, the most will be translated, but you may experience more problem (missing texts, or applications that goes blank screen).
- The second application is a notepad instance, opened on your initFlashfiles.dat. This file contains the localized name of some system directories and especially the start menu. I suggest you to take a look to the initflashfiles present in the microwave\dump.src dir that is the localized version for your language and change the one in the notepad accordingly. The only part that REALLY NEED to be changed is the name of the "startup" dir (i.e. in italian it must be changed in "Esecuzione automatica") otherwise your rom won't start the customization (no screen alignment, no initial settings .. etc etc..)
- At this point the script will have built the nk.nb file that must be translated in a nk.nbf file in order to be flashed. This is done with the last program that opens up : nb2nbf. You will find a set of row in the middle of the screen, check the first checkbox in the first line and in the box on the right pick the nk.nb file from the microwave dir. On the same line choose OS in the combobox on the right and then just click on the text box on the left. A number will appear, it is all ok. Now click on translate and you're done.
Nice printscreens smogdragon!
Thanks!
I have a question:
Which .BIN file should I use? The installed file from Microsoft extracted the following .BIN files:
PPC_ESN.BIN
PPC_ESN_GSM_QVGA_VR.BIN
PPC_ESN_GSM_SQUARE_VR.BIN
PPC_ESN_GSM_VGA_SQUARE_VR.BIN
PPC_ESN_GSM_VGA_VR.BIN
PPC_ESN_GSM_VR.BIN
All of them with same size... Which one should I use for my QTEK A9100 (Wizard)???
Thanks in advance!
In addition to my previous post, I'm getting the following error message when click on "GO" button at MUIVER program (see attachment).
What is going on? It doesn't happens when using Beta2 release.
@cesarr4
PPC_ESN_GSM_QVGA_VR.BIN is the best match with wizard's hardware.
As for the error, I've never seen that But I can see on the command prompt that you had a previous error "acces is denied". I would try to start clean, deleting dump and dump.src directories. Ah, be sure to have administration rights. Let me know
thanks for your prompt responses and your help.
I flashed the resultant rom to my Wizard and it is working fine but some issues arised with built-in apps. By example, the phone app doesn't start and built in software keyboard doesn't show up...
I was wondering if it is possible to extract the OS part from the MS image and pack it into a nk.nbf file and flash it (I mean, do not transkate a existing rom but using the OS inside the .bin file and flash it to the device)...
it is possible? what can be the side-effects doing that?
hello smogdragon
i tried using cmd and it work t for a little bit when i deed everything you said it say that it cant find this file cant find that file it cant find muiver nothing get recognized by cmd
but its all in the same dir and the image file too

[REF] Greek Document tab + Howto find manila file names for all language

Hi all
I am not a manila guru.. and this is my first dive in to the manila naming ocean...
I started this thread when some person that i asked for the filenames to have Greek language
in the documents tab he refuse to tell me EVEN the filenames.
So when i figure out how it works i deside to put together this Howto for other people.
This is a tutorial, a howto find the manila file names for the varius language,apps and tabs.
You will need
a) ManilaHASH.exe
b) Manilafiles.txt
Files are provided in the end of this post.
In his tutorial we will try to find the manila files and filenames to have the document tab in
Greek Language.
The same way works for any tab and any language...
So lets start.
The manila files that holds all the strings are the xml ones...
1. Open the manilafiles.txt in a text editor you will see lines like this one
5bb3a45f_manila \windows\htc\album\assets\images\btn_camera_press.qtc
The first part its the actual filename.(You will find that file in the windows folder)
The second one its a virtual path that refers to that filename.
(I dont know how and why they just are linked and the manilahash app use this to produce the
actual filenames.)
Lets find now the filenames for the document tab.
2. Search the Manilafiles.txt file for the string 'document' and when you find the first instance
scrool down to find the lines with the xml files
in our case the lines are :
35bfc9f0_manila \windows\htc\docexplorer\locales\en-us\docicons.en-us.xml
4e4ebb4e_manila \windows\htc\docexplorer\locales\en-us\documentexplorer.en-us.xml
43326f20_manila \windows\htc\docexplorer\locales\en-us\documentexplorerbrowse.en-us.xml
4db93f9f_manila \windows\htc\docexplorer\locales\en-us\documentexplorersettings.en-us.xml
1a93e5c6_manila \windows\htc\docexplorer\locales\en-us\expandeddocument.en-us.xml
The first part of those lines is the actual filename.
Those are the files that we need to find them in the \windows folder of the device and copy
them for editing. So find them and copy them from the device to your pc.
Before go to the next step, lest do a test now just to see how the manilahash.exe and the manila
naming works.
3. Open the manilahash.exe and copy and paste the "\windows\htc\docexplorer\locales\en-us\docicons.en-us.xml"
to the manila file path textbox.
Then press the "get manila" button ... you will get the 35bfc9f0_manila witch is refered in our text file.
The same goes for the others files... just check them.
4. Now lets go for the other language - the greek
In the filepath for the first file "\windows\htc\docexplorer\locales\en-us\docicons.en-us.xml" change
the language code from en-us to el-gr the greek language code, and now the path string its like this :
"\windows\htc\docexplorer\locales\el-gr\docicons.el-gr.xml".
(Here you can find all the language codes to letters for each of the 2 parts, the Primary language and Sublanguage)
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms776294.aspx
5. Copy this to the manila file path textbox of manilahash.exe app and press getmanila to get the name
of the file for the greek language witch is this: 7139AFEE_manila.
So now copy the file 35bfc9f0_manila and rename it to 7139AFEE_manila.
Follow the same procedure for all the files.
The open the all files with a text editor and change the first line the string en-us to el-gr and save.
Transfer all the files to \windows folder of your device and after a softreset you will have greek (or any other lang
in the document tab.
The procedure is generaly the same for any other set of files or tabs... and for any language...
I dont now if the text file with the names covers all the manila files... i did some try and find attemps
and all the files where there.
If i can help you with your search just post the question here.
Thanks to metlwater, he was the first that answer my question about manila file names in the facebook tab
greek translation.

I just read this today, very useful! Any idea how this works for custom tabs?
Cheers for any pointers.
Hola Colossus ;-)
I know this thread isn´t "warm" anymore, but doing some research for "FullThemSwitch" witch CHTS (or manually ) I stumbled across this one
Guess we both encountered the same "attitude" when asking "certain" people for information , guess not everybody is into sharing knowledge - since information is power At last let me also congratulate you, because you actually "practice what you preach" Love your signature
I'd all but forgotten about this thread and there was no thankyou meter last time I posted. So, your thankyou meter just went up by one.
Without you I wouldn't have been able to find out which manila files to have translated, for those wanting other localisations of my ROM series.
Cheers again!
THX great work (ευχαριστω)

Thanks a lot my friend. May i ask you something - My documents tab <bar> at the top of the screen is empty without writing <Documents> (from the begining). Do you know perhaps how or what file makes it appears again? I have an HD2 with the latest Greek Rom.
Interesting informations, I think you are a manila guru!!
